I’m running into an issue with the Omnis-Duo controller (AlphaTheta), and it’s got me a bit flustered.

Here are the details:

Omnis-Duo Hardware Version No. 1.11
In Rekordbox I am paying for the Professional Plan... I have Rekordbox Version: 7.0.6.0016
My Computer is a MAC M3 Max | 36 Memory | Mac OS 14.5 (23F79)
The USB Drive I am using is a Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD 500GB
The USB drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). (In the Manual for the Omnis-Duo it states on page 12: FAT16, FAT32, ExFAT & HFS+ are compatible. I'm using the HFS+ format from my understanding by being Mac OS Extended (Journaled). = Please correct me if I'm wrong
The drive contains both a Device Library and a Device Library Plus
The drive works perfectly with the CDJ-3000s—I can eject and re-plug it in as many times as I want without any problems.

However, with the Omnis-Duo controller, I have to go through this process every time to get it to read the files:

Click ‘Convert From Device Library’ in rekordbox.
Overwrite 'Existing Device Library Plus'
Eject the USB drive from rekordbox.

It will then read the files for the first time as long as i don't turn the controller or eject it. If I eject the drive from the Omnis-Duo and try to reconnect it, the controller doesn’t recognize it again. Even with a hard reboot of the controller. To get it to work again I have to plug it back into rekordbox and repeat the process to make it work.
